nobody thinks that eric cantor is going to be a kinder and gentler face for the republican party. you know, there was palace intrigue. there was quiet movement among conservatives to vacate the chair which means they would have voted against john boehner. and if they got more than 16 to vote against john boehner, then the chair is vacated. you need a majority. and they had the votes, people that were willing to vote against john boehner to take him down as speaker, but then they looked around and said, who's going to replace him? and there was nobody to replace him. so john boehner will continue to be speaker of the house. but there is movement afoot. and they had the votes to do it. they just didn't have anybody to replace him. >> but remember, they've got a constituency problem. a lot of americans care a lot about the second amendment. a lot of americans might want sensible changes in crime control laws but not wholesale changes in the way guns are l regulated. and a handful of congressmen were elected where the president won. they're not a 10% party. they may be a 10% popularit
